Six Flags could be sold to Netflix

Given Six Flags’ challenges and a roughly $2–3 billion market cap in late 2025, there is naturally speculation about potential acquirers – ranging from media/entertainment giants to private equity – but no concrete offers have emerged (yet).

But! Hear me out...

It makes sense for Netflix to acquire Six Flags.

Here's why... Netflix's market cap is ~$450B. Six Flags is ~$2.5B. That's less than a 1% dilution.

Netflix has been dipping a toe into location-based entertainment through small-scale “Netflix House” experiences in cities, but when asked about bigger moves, Netflix’s leadership has been cautious.

Disney was built on the idea that they would create world-class IP and then sell an in-person experience in the Parks. The Parks have been what saved Disney for the past 5-years (as they've spent a ton building out Disney+)

This would be a great move, and the stock upswing from the acquisition would most likely cover the cost of the acquisition.

But wait, there's more!

There are other firms that may acquire some or all of Six Flags.

Private Equity and Industry players make sense for an acquisition. But we also have legacy media companies.

Paramount has been on a giant spending spree, and they owned and operated parks until 2006.
